If you're an independent seller looking for eco-friendly easter craft ideas to sell, or a DIY creator, you've well and truly come to the right place.
Plantable Seed Paper
Plantable seed paper really is one of our favourite Easter craft ideas to sell. Made from recycled paper and embedded with seeds, it can be planted in soil to grow flowers, herbs, or even vegetables. Plantable seed paper comes in a variety of designs and sizes, making it an excellent choice for Easter cards, gift tags, or even invitations.
Beeswax Wraps
Beeswax wraps are a natural and reusable food wrap, and they make a great alternative to their plastic counterparts. They are made from cotton fabric and of course, their signature ingredient, beeswax. Beeswax wraps can be used to keep sandwiches, cheese, fruit, and vegetables fresh.
Beeswax wraps can also be made with recycled fabric or fabric scraps, making them a fitting addition to our list of eco-friendly Easter craft ideas to sell. You can create a variety of sizes and designs to fit different needs, and if you have any rabbit-themed fabric to repurpose, what better use for them than a sustainable method of covering the family leftovers?

Crocheted Easter Decorations
Crocheted Easter decorations are a sustainable and charming way to decorate for the holiday. You can create handmade Easter gifts such as crocheted Easter eggs, bunnies, and flowers. Crocheted Easter decorations can be reused each year and can also be made from recycled yarn or fabric scraps.
There’s no doubt about it - they are adorable enough to earn their place among our favourite eco-friendly Easter craft ideas to sell or gift.
Upcycled Easter Basket
Rather than buying a new Easter basket each year, upcycled Easter baskets can be made from an old basket, a cardboard box, or even a tin can.
